Episode 2- The Amazing Wawanawkwa Race!
"Last time on Total Drama Fans vs. Favorites," Chris says from the Dock of Shame. "The new and old campers arrived at the island and were separated into two teams: The Screaming Turtles and the Killer Snails. Friendships were made, alliances were formed, and enemies were found around every corner. The cliff-diving challenge was renewed and there were only two who chickened out: Owen and Noah. In the second part of the challenge, the Killer Snails took an early lead which was quickly diminished by Greg and his little stealing of the twine stunt. In the end the Screaming Turtles were victorious and the Killer Snails sent Jenna the Hypnotized Psycho Jungle Girl home. Which was a good decision considering she was totally nuts. Two power alliances were formed: Fiona and Alejandro, and Heather and Greg. Who will be safe? Who will go home? Who will nominate me for People's most handsomest host of the year? All these answers and more including the most dramatic Campfire Ceremony yet, this time on Total! Drama! Fans vs. Favorites!
Theme Song
*Opening Chords
- Cameras are shown popping up in trees, in logs, under the grass, disturbing the wildlife including the Bear, Raccoon, and Sasquatchenawkwa. They all run away from the equipment, trampling over Chris. The camera dives into the water.
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doing fine. You guys are on my mind.
-Owen is swimming under water, he farts and the gas rises to the surface.
You asked me what I wanted to be now I think the answer is plain to see.
-Bridgette, who is wearing Geoff's hat, is coming by on her surfboard. She sniffs the gas and slips off her surfboard. The surfboard goes flying.
I wanna be famous.
- The surfboard impales itself in the tree where Fox was just standing. He backs up and bumps into Duncan, who has to be held back from beating Fox up by Gwen.
I wanna live close to the sun
- Leshawna bumps into Heather and they immediately start to slap-fight.
So pack your bags cause I've all ready won.
- Izzy and Jenna swing by on vines and they each slam headfirst into Static and Theodore, who are playing with Balo.
Everything to prove nothing in my way, I'll get there one day.
- Inside the Mess Hall kitchen, Chef is stirring a pot of something-or-other but he sees Greg drop a sock into the brew. Chef chases him out of the kitchen, holding up a spatula to hit him with.
Cause I wanna be famous
- Fiona and Alejandro are talking to each other, Alejandro smiles and his teeth glint. Greg runs by and knocks Fiona over. She looks at him with hate and he winks at her.
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous.
- Mary is jumping up and down happily around the camp, hyper as always. She sees Noah reading on the cabin steps and hugs him.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous.
- Eddy and Melinda are in the middle of a poker game. She shows her cards, looking like she won. Eddy smirks and shows her his cards, he won. Melinda grits her teeth and Eddy just leans back and starts smoking a cigar.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous.
- Down be the Dock, Trent is staring at a picture of Gwen. Cody sees it and tries to grab it. They start fighting over the picture.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous….
- Izabella and Joe are talking by the campfire. They lean in close like they're about to kiss but then Joe backs off stammering out apologizes.
* Whistling
- All the campers are gathered around the campfire, with Chris and Chef standing in the middle.
Center of Camp (Flagpole)
"Ready to give the campers their special wake up call?" Chris asks Chef. Chef grins and raises the bugle to his lips and Chris puts the microphone to it.
Cabins, Killer Snails (Guys)
Eddy wakes up to the sound of a bugle being played over the intercom. He sits up quickly and hits his head on the bunk above his.
"OW!" He says. "I hate Chris!"
Duncan wakes up, stretches and leaps off the top bunk. "Welcome to Camp Wawanawkwa." He tells Eddy sarcastically.
Theodore sits up, bleary-eyed. "Does this happen everyday?" He asks.
"Only when Chris is in a good mood." Duncan says. "Hey time to get up." He says throwing a towel at Alejandro.
Alejandro sits up and throws the towel back to him. "Duncan I like to get a full eight hours of beauty sleep each night. Wake me in 20 minutes."
"Whatever." Duncan says.
"If he's sleeping in, then so am I." Eddy says lying back down. Suddenly the bugle blares again and Eddy sits up and hits his head.
"OW! Again?"
"That was the snooze alarm." Duncan informs him.
"Say where did Cody go?" Theodore asks, spotting the empty bunk.
Screaming Turtles (Girls)
"Again?" Izabella asks sitting up and groaning, when she hears the bugle over the intercom.
"That's Chris for you." Leshawna says, combing her hair.
"I hate him." Izabella says, with pure loathing.
"Everyone does. And he doesn't care; he's fine with torturing us." Gwen says. "I don't think anyone would be in high spirits when getting up this early."
"Come on Heather! It's time to get upupup! Today's a brand new day!" Mary tells Heather, tapping her shoulder. Heather pushes Mary away and sits up, her face covered in the green face mask.
"Ugh, why does he have to wake us up this early?" Heather complains getting off her bunk.
"I don't know. Why is Chris sadistic in general?" Gwen asks rhetorically.
"He was probably molested as a child or something." Izabella says, swinging her feet over the side of her bunk.
"Whatever. I'm going to take a shower. So none of you better flush a toilet for another twenty minutes." Heather grabs a couple towels and walks out of the cabin.
Gwen rolls her eyes and shakes her head. "I'm gonna take a shower before Heather uses up all the warm water."
"I'll come with you." Izabella says. "Just make sure you take your shower after I flush."
Washrooms
Izabella and Gwen are surprised to see Heather still outside the washroom banging on the door.
"What's wrong?" Gwen asks.
"Someone locked me out." Heather says. "That is so rude!"
"Now you know what it feels like." Gwen grumbles, knocking on the door. "Hey, unlock the door! There are three of us out here!"
"Excuse me, I need my private bathroom time!" Fiona says from inside the washroom.
"If you don't open the door, we'll get Chef to knock it down!" Gwen threatens. Fiona sighs and unlocks the door. She opens it.
"Don't take too long." Fiona says to them, turning back around and going back to the mirrors.

Fiona: I'd just like to make it clear that I need a half and hour to 45 minutes for my private bathroom time. Otherwise all of this (she gestures to her body) doesn't happen! If I don't have my private bathroom time I end up looking like Izabella! Admittedly a much hotter Izabella, but still, EW!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Heather steps into the washroom followed by Gwen and Izabella.
"A word of advice." Gwen says to Izabella, "You need to run the water for a few minutes to get it mildly lukewarm after Heather takes her shower. Otherwise you turn into an ice cube."
"Oh, ha-ha." Heather says when she hears this. She steps into the one of the showers and turns on the water. Fiona rolls her eyes and continues to apply her mascara.
"Better turn on the water." Gwen says to herself. She pulls the curtain to the other shower aside and screams.
"What is it?" Izabella asks rushing over to her. She takes one look in the shower and starts laughing.
"Cody, what the hell!" Gwen shouts at Cody who is standing naked in the shower. Cody blushes. Fiona walks over to see what's happening, looks at Cody, and starts to laugh as well.
"Well, I saw you going to the washrooms, and I thought you would need a… shower buddy." Cody says. Leshawna and Mary burst into the washroom followed by Bridgette and Static.
"What happened?" Leshawna asks.
"We heard someone scream." Bridgette explains.
"The pervert happened!" Gwen says, pointing at Cody.

Cody: (still naked, thankfully his legs are crossed) I'm tired of being perceived as the pervert. I'm no more of a pervert than any other guys. Sure I've stolen Gwen's underwear, smelled a few of her bras, and peeked inside the screen door while she was changing. I'm just an obsessed guy in love. When I think about Gwen… sweet Gwen. (he stops, looks down at himself, looks back at the camera) Umm, I'm gonna need some privacy for a few minutes.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Cody, you need to stop this obsession with me!" Gwen tells him and grabs him by the shoulders. "It's never going to happen!"
He stares at her and says, "Hold me tighter." Gwen groans and takes her hands off of him. Leshawna pats her shoulder.
"Let us handle it sister." She tells Gwen.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Leshawna: I feel sorry for the little guy. It must be heart breaking to get rejected over and over by Gwen. But it's no excuse to act like a total perv to the rest of us girls.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
When they hear Gwen's scream, Duncan and Trent grab the nearest items they could get their hands on and the run to the washrooms, followed by Joe and Fox. Before they reach the door, Static opens it up and Leshawna, Mary, Bridgette and Fiona throw Cody out onto the ground.
"Whoa, what happened here?" Trent asks.
"He was naked in my shower!" Gwen yells. Duncan scowls.
"That's it." He says grabbing Cody by his hair and pulling him to his feet. "I am through messing around. I don't want you talking to my girlfriend or looking at my girlfriend. In fact, I don't want you thinking about my girlfriend. And trust me, I'll know when you're thinking about her." Duncan says pointing the bat he had grabbed at Cody's nose. "And if I see any of that happening, my foot is going straight up your…."
Duncan is too angry to finish the sentence and he starts to swing the bat at Cody. Before he can seriously injure him, Fox grabs the bat from Duncan's hands.
"Duncan clam down before you hurt someone." Joe says putting a hand on his shoulder. Duncan shrugs him off, turns and grabs the bat from Fox.
"That goes for you too, newbie." Duncan warns and stomps away.

Fox: Geez, why is Duncan so mad at me. All I did was make one comment about his eyebrow. And talk to Gwen, I guess. But I can't not talk to Gwen. She's really cool. She reminds me of the good times I had with Angel…. (he trails off into Memory Land. Then he realizes he's on National TV) Oh, I mean she reminds me of… my mom. Yeah. (he shifts around uncomfortably).

The campers hear a flush and Heather shrieks. Izabella comes out of the washroom, brushing off her hands and chuckling.
"Who did that?" Heather screams from inside the washroom.
"Sorry. My bad." Izabella calls, grinning. "Hey Trent, are you holding a can of hair spray?"
"Umm…." Trent looks at the can.
"You hear me scream and you grab a can of hairspray to defend me?" Gwen asks. "Why do you even have a can of hair spray?"
"Uh, it's not mine?"
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Trent: It was dark! I grabbed the first thing my hand touched! I shouldn't have done it anyway. Gwen was completely ungrateful. But, I don't know. There's just something about her that just keeps me hanging on.
. . .
Noah: Did Trent just quote the Supremes? (he starts laughing) That's just sad! He's such a tool!

Mess Hall
Alejandro walks into the Mess Hall to see only Eddy, Theodore, Owen and Noah sitting at the tables, waiting for Chef's breakfast.
"Where is everyone?" He asks. Eddy shrugs.
"There was some kind of commotion at the washrooms." Eddy says. "I'm starving. Where's breakfast?"
"You won't be hungry when you see what it is." Noah says. Owen farts loudly. "Ugh, Owen!" Noah says leaning away from him. "Isn't it a little early in the morning for that?"
"Uh, oh." Owen says. "I think I have to use the bathroom." He stands up and farts again.
"OW!" Noah shouts. "You just stepped on my toe." He says weakly.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Noah: I'm worried that if I keep hanging around Owen, he's eventually going to kill me.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Oopsie, don't worry Noah, I'll take you to the emergency tent." Owen picks up Noah and runs out of the Mess Hall. A second later Melinda walks in.
"Is Chef here yet?" She asks.
"Nope." Alejandro replies.
"Good to hear." Melinda starts to walk to the kitchen door.
"What are you doing?" Alejandro asks.
"I'm just going to make a good breakfast." She says. "I'm not sure is Chef has any edible ingredients though."
"You know, considering all the crap he gets from Chris, I think Chef does the best he can." Eddy tells her.
"Mm-hmm." Melinda say ignoring him.
"I think, Mel, that you're just trying to prove you're a harder worker than him." Eddy says.
"First off, don't call me Mel! Second, what's wrong with wanting to eat something that doesn't taste like it's been pulled out of the sewer?" Melinda says putting her hand on the kitchen door. A spatula flies out of nowhere and lands in the door between her fingers. Melinda quickly takes her hand away from the door.
Chef walks angrily into the Mess Hall, glaring at her. He pulls the spatula out of the door and points it at her.
"Nobody. Goes. Into. My. Kitchen." He warns. He walks into his kitchen, slamming the door.
"Chef: 1. Over achieving redhead: zip." Eddy comments. Melinda glares at him and goes to sit at the far end of the table. Slowly, the rest of the campers filter in and sit in little groups. Owen and Noah return, Noah's foot in a small cast to go with his bandaged hand and eye-patch. Fiona sits with Alejandro and motions Theodore and Static to join them. Bridgette sees this.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Bridgette: Great, she's only been here a day and Fiona already has three people wrapped around her finger. And she probably wants me out too. I've got to find an alliance and fast. I would join up with Leshawna and Gwen, but they're on the other team. Let's see, Fiona has Alejandro, Static and Theodore. Duncan and Eddy are close so I can't count on them. And so that leaves me with Izzy, Melinda and Cody. (she bites her lip) Well they're better than nothing. It's not like we're all gonna make it to the finals. We just have to stay together at least till the merge.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Hey, Izzy, come over here." Bridgette calls to Izzy and sits down next to Melinda.
"Listen, we three need to be an alliance." She says to them.
"We three?" Melinda asks.
"Yes." Bridgette says. "If we don't stick together Fiona we'll get us out one by one. We can probably rope Cody in too."
"I don't know. I don't really like Cody." Melinda says to Bridgette.
"You don't have to like him. We just need to work with him for a little while."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Izzy: When did Bridgette become a strategist. Hmmm, maybe she did do more than suck face with Geoff.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"C'mon Mellie," Izzy says to Melinda. "Us red heads have gotta stick together."
"But I'm a blond." Bridgette says. "And you're a red head?" She says looking at her orange hair.
"Yep. That probably explains why I'm so crazy." Izzy says laughing. "I'm gonna go see what Chef's up to." With that, Izzy bounces away into the kitchen. Chef immediately yells at her to get out and pushes her out the door.
"Fine, I'll be in the alliance." Melinda says. "But are you sure you want her." She points at Izzy.
"It's either her or lose the game." Bridgette tells her.
"I guess you're right." Melinda says. Bridgette stands up.
"We should go talk to Cody now before anyone else tries to."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Cody: So, Bridgette and Melinda come over and ask me if I wanted to be in their alliance. I said yes, but not just because they could probably beat me up if I didn't. The ladies wanted the Codemeister. It would break their hearts if I said no.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Well look at that. It's already starting." Gwen says to Leshawna.
"What?"
"Alliances."
"Oh. Well we better get a good one before they're all gone." Leshawna jokes.
"Fox, Joe." Gwen calls over to them.
"Yeah?" Fox asks when he and Joe walk over to the girls.
"We were thinking of forming an alliance. You want in?" Gwen asks.
"Sure. But can we ask Izabella too?" Joe asks.
"I don't know. She and Mary are kinda tight." Leshawna tells him.
"Then we can ask her too. We could be an alliance of six." Joe says.
Leshawna looks at Gwen. "Sure." She says after a second.
"Thanks." Joe says smiling and going over to talk to them.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Leshawna: Poor rookies, they don't understand. The more people in an alliance, the harder it gets to vote them off. But hey, might as well throw them a bone.
. . .
Izabella: I think it was sweet that Joe asked me to be in an alliance with him. I wonder what would happen if we made it to the final two. Just me and Joe… (she smiles) that would be cool.
. . .
Mary: My first alliance! YAY! And with my friends Izi and Gwen! This is so- Am I being recorded? HI, EVERYONE! (she waves at the camera).
. . .
Heather: You think I didn't notice this? Please. I can sniff out the alliances being formed. And why will no one ally with me? WHY?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Greg walks into the Mess Hall and sits down next to Heather.
"Where have you been all morning?" Heather asks him. He grins at her.
"Let's just say, I got something that will be very helpful in the challenge today." Greg says.
"Stealing? Again?"
"Believe me, you're going to be very happy we have it when it comes time for the challenge." Greg tells her.
"Uh-huh, sure." Heather says doubtfully.
"What are you so worried about?" He asks.
"Everyone's making alliances."
"So?"
"So, we have only two people. Well maybe I can convince Mary…."
Greg chuckles. "Don't bother. She has the attention span of a fruit fly."
"Hmm, you do have a point."
"Besides, I like it this way. Just two of us, subtly controlling the game." Greg says. "And if we do need numbers we can always convince Owen, Noah and Mary. Maybe even Joe and Fox."
"I've never tried to play this game subtly before." Heather says.
"There's a first time for everything."
Meanwhile Fiona notices Bridgette sitting with Melinda, Izzy and Cody.
"Bridgette's next." She says to her group. Alejandro looks at her. "And why is that?"
"She's already formed an alliance against us." Fiona says indicating the group at the other table.
"Ah, well enemy alliances are meant to be broken." Alejandro says. She smiles at him.
"And tell me, how do we break it up?" She asks.
"We pick the two weakest members, talk to them, charm them, make them trust us. Then we either convince them to vote with us or we convince their alliance to vote them out. It worked for me all last season."
"You are an evil genius." Fiona says to Alejandro. "So, who are the weakest?"
"Why don't you guess?" He asks her.
"Cody obviously." Fiona says. Alejandro nods. "And… Izzy?" She asks pointing to Izzy who is busy sticking a fork up her nose.
Alejandro shakes his head. "Melinda." He says.
"Melinda, really? She doesn't seem very weak." Fiona says.
"Yes, but Courtney was supposed to be a strong player last season too."
"Ah." Fiona grins. "So you'll take Melinda, I'll take Cody?"
Alejandro nods. "The next time we lose, it will be Bridgette leaving the island. Not you, chica."
"What should we do?" Static asks the conniving villains.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Fiona: I had sort of forgotten that Theodore and Static were there. I guess that happens when you're in the overwhelming presence of Alejandro.
. . .
Alejandro: It would hurt Theodore and Static's feelings to tell them that we only need them for their votes. I, a Spanish gentleman, would never do that. So I will simply lie to them.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Just concentrate on winning the challenge." Alejandro tells them. "Just because we know who to vote for, doesn't mean we want to lose. Yet."
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Theodore: Alejandro is very deductive. So is Fiona. Our four member alliance will most likely go very far into this game. I'm glad Jerry is in the alliance as well. She's actually very sane for someone who believes in aliens.
. . .
Static: I love my alliance. Fiona's a great friend and Theo's like a big brother. Al… well he's smart. I like everyone here. Except Joe, only aliens can be that nice.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Good morning everyone!" Chris greets the campers happily. None of them return his enthusiasm. "How are we today?"
"Tired." Eddy says.
"Great. Me too." Chris says ignoring Eddy. "Today Chef has prepared a delicious new kind of breakfast for you." He informs them.
"He must define 'delicious' very loosely." Fox says to Joe.
Chef comes out of the kitchen carrying two trays of bowls which he starts setting down in front of the campers. Heather looks down at the bowl and wrinkles her nose.
"Oatmeal?" She asks. "Isn't that a little ordinary?"
"Well, Chef added something… special to it." Chris and Chef exchange a look and they both snicker.
"What's with the snicker?" Gwen asks.
"Oh, we were just remembering a joke from last night." Chris says.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Gwen: Last night? Whoa, really bad mental picture there. But they're up to something.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Now eat up, you got a long challenge ahead of you."
"What is the challenge Chris?" Heather asks, not touching the oatmeal.
"Does it involve explosions?" Izzy asks.
"You'll find out when you finish breakfast. And maybe." Chris says answering both questions. "Now eat!"
"Hmm," Joe says putting a spoonful of oatmeal in his mouth. "Is there cinnamon in this?"
"Yes." Chef responds.
"There some other flavor in there too." Bridgette says. "It tastes… bitter."
Theodore shovels a spoonful of oatmeal in his mouth. Then he takes something white off of his tongue and holds it up to the light. "What is this?" He wonders out loud.
"It looks like a part of one of those really strong sleeping pills." Static says.
"Oh, yeah! My mom gives those to me whenever I'm to hyper to-" Mary's head drops onto the table and she starts to softly snore.
"Sleeping pills!" Noah says spitting out the oatmeal.
"Chris you are so dead!" Eddy says standing. But then he crashes to the floor as the sleeping pills hit him.
Gwen spits out the oatmeal as she sees the campers around her falling asleep. "Chris, how could…." Gwen's eyes close and she falls asleep.
Woods (Gwen, Duncan, Fox)
Gwen woke up on the forest floor and groaned. "Chris I'm gonna kill you." She says. She hears a groan next to her and sees Duncan trying to sit up.
"Hey." He says. "You okay?"
"Yeah, I guess." Gwen answers.
"And I'm fine, thanks for asking." Fox says, sitting up.
"What are you doing here?" Duncan asks, testily.
"I might as well ask you the same question, Killer Snail." Fox says using the same tone as Duncan.
"Where are we?" Gwen asks.
"Somewhere in the woods." Fox guesses.
"No, duh, genius." Duncan says.
"Hey look." Fox says pointing at Gwen's feet. "Walkie-talkie." Gwen picks it up and stands. The two guys get to their feet.
"Why did Chris leave us in the forest with nothing but a walkie-talkie?" Duncan asks.
The walkie-talkie crackles. "Hello? Anyone there?" The three campers jump at the voice.
"Isn't that Joe?" Fox asks recognizing his friend's voice.
"Uh, yeah, we're here." Gwen says into it.
"Chris! Where's Chris? I'm going to kill him!" Heather yells.
"Nice to hear your voice too Heather." Bridgette says sarcastically.
"What is happening? Chris!" Melinda shouts.
"HELLOOOOOOOOO! Who is it?" Mary says, causing some feedback.
"Give me that!" Fiona distantly says. There are sounds of the walkie changing hands. "Will someone tell us what is going on?" Fiona asks, her voice coming through clearer.
"I believe I can answer that Fiona." A familiar voice comes out of the walkie-talkie.
"Chris." Gwen says.
"Yes, Gwen, it is me." Chris says.
"You drugged us and threw us into the forest!" Gwen says, outraged.
"Actually Chef drugged you and the interns threw you into the forest. But it was my idea."

Gwen: Chris drugged us! He DRUGGED us! What kind of a sick, sadistic person would do that? It's wrong! It's… its sick! It's… well its genius. BUT IT'S STILL SICK!

"Why in the name of Chuck Norris did you do that?" Fox asks.
"If you're mentally unstable, I'm so suing this show!" Melinda shouts.
"Melinda, shut up!" Eddy says.
"And what is the reason you got us doped up on sleeping pills and dumped us out here?" Duncan asks.
"Your challenge of course."
"Of course." Trent says quietly.
"What's the challenge?" Gwen asks, knowing she will regret asking.
"As you can see you are not at the campground."
"Thank you Captain Obvious." Izabella says.
"Hey, I've had enough lip out of you. You all are now participating in the Amazing Wawanawkwa Race!" Chris says.
"The Amazing Wawanawkwa Race?" Static asks.
"Is there an echo in here? Yes, the Amazing Wawanawkwa Race!"
"I think I've heard of this somewhere before." Joe says.
"You're challenge is to reach the finish line, a.k.a. the campgrounds, before the other team. The first team to get all their members back to camp wins the challenge and is safe from the Campfire Ceremony tonight. The losers will go to the Campfire Ceremony and vote another camper off. We've grouped you up into mixed-team groups of three and four. It's your choice whether you want to stay in the groups of separate from them. Each group does have a walkie-talkie and I will be broadcasting important information every so often that you might want to hear."
"How are we supposed to find our way back to camp?" Melinda asks. "Don't we get maps or compasses?"
"Or food?" Owen asks.
"We've hidden all that you would need to survive in the forest. Like a big scavenger hunt. Along with a few other things." Chris says deviously.
"Let me guess." Gwen says. "Evil squirrels."
"Raccoons." Duncan adds.
"Chipmunks." Owen guesses.
"Bears." Heather says.
"And of course Sasquatchenawkwa." Leshawna adds to the list.
"A little bit of all those. Not to mention Chef who will be roaming the woods and knocking out stray campers with some sleeping solution. And a few surprises I added myself." Chris says.
"Can you at least tell us which direction camp is in?" Joe asks.
"And why would I do that? You guys are on your own." And with that Chris ended his speech on the walkie-talkie leaving the 21 campers alone. In the woods. With raccoons, chipmunks, and Chef.
Oh my.
Ooooh, a twist! How do you think you're camper will fare in this challenge? Please review. Or vote. Or both. I'm having fun writing this story. Hope you're enjoying it too!
- Love, Jacky.
